Pic Nord du Merlet, Mountain summit in Belledonne range, France

The Pic Nord du Merlet reaches an elevation of 2563 meters with exposed rock formations and steep slopes near Saint-Alban-des-Villards in the French Alps.

The summit has been marked on French topographic maps since the early documentation of the Belledonne mountain range, serving as a reference point for local communities.

Local mountaineers gather annually at the summit to celebrate the traditional mountain festivals that mark the beginning of the summer hiking season.

Hikers can access the summit through a 15-kilometer trail starting from Le Replat, with a vertical gain of 1300 meters requiring approximately 3 hours of ascent.

The route features a specific herbaceous ledge section near the summit that requires careful navigation, particularly during wet conditions.
